Katie’s Bio

I have been sitting children for 8 years. I currently baby sit two girls 7 and 10. I watched 3 boys ages 1-5 for 4 years. I have a 5 year old niece I have helped take care of since she was born. I have also had miscellaneous babysitting jobs in the past 8 years; ages ranging from new born to 12. I believe in giving my full attention to the kids to promote development. To accomplish this I make sure to keep a positive environment, avoid television and focus more on playing outside when weather permits and doing actives that engage their minds, whilst employeeing appropriate discipline if necessary. Healthy meal options are ideal. I have taken culinary classes and know how to cook a variety of meals. I have no issues doing laundry, dishes, and light cleaning around the house. In May, I will graduate with a Pre- Law degree and commission as a 2nd LT in the US Army. I have received US Army and civilian training in first aid and CPR and am experienced in utilizing it. Resume and letters of recomendation upon request. Pay is negotiable based on age and amount of children.
